UPDATE FOR JULY 2016 meta:
Replace Eternal Sentinel x2 with Tuskarr Totemic x2
Replace Ancestral Knowledge x2 with Thing from Below x2
Optional: Replace Earth Shock x1 with Flame Juggler x1
INTRO:
I have tried few different decklists and changed a few cards around until I came to this version which served me very good. I went from rank 4.2k to top 100 legend in 2 days with it.
The deck is very strong for this early standard meta and I consider it S Tier (Super Tier that is above all the T1 decks out there).
As there are no more Deathlords, Sludge Belchers and Antique Healbots in standard this deck got a lot of stronger, it only lost crackes but it gained Eternal Sentinels and insane Flamewreathed Faceless! But you need to have the board when you drop it so we went for stronger early game in terms of Argent Squires and Flametongue Totems.
So all with all those changes in consideration this deck came up on top of...well every other deck out there atm. I do believe however that as the meta gets older and other decks more polished, this deck will drop down to T1.
UPDATE: Got #61 legend with it 2 days before the end of the season. (Total score is 43-15 from rank 4.2k and up).
Gameplay videos:
Here is a list of my games from today, went from 4.2k+ to rank 127 legend in a day. As you can see the deck is VERY streak-y so if you start with a losing streak don't get discouraged!
REPLACEMENTS:
-Eternal Sentinels can be replaced with Flame Jugglers.
-Sir Finley Mrrgglton can't really be replaced but if you don't have him you can try Worgen Infiltrator or a Lava Shock.
-Tunnel Troggs can maybe be replaced by Worgen Infiltrators if you absolutely have no other option, but note that the deck wont be nearly the same.
FAQ:
Q: What hero power should you be trying to get with finley?
A: Hunter usually, if you need some board control you can get the druid one (it works well with doomhammer), vs control or zoo sometimes you might want to get warlock hero power, next one is mage, then pala. You pick warrior/priest only if you are playing vs another aggro deck and you drop it late game and just need that 1 extra turn to kill your opponent.
Q: small guide please?
A: Argent squires + Abusive / Flame tongue are for early board control, you can watch the video above, I tried to include as much gameplay tips as I could.
Q: What are the cards that I should mulligan with?
A: It really depends on the matchups and if you have coin or not, but usually you keep 1 drops + abusive, totem golems, and if you have coin and play vs something like zoo or other shaman you might keep a 1 mana removal with coin.
As for doomhammer, you can keep it if you have 1+2 drop or if you are playing vs a control deck and have 1 or 2 drop, I don't recomend that you keep it if you don't have an early game minion or if you are playing vs an aggressive deck.
As you know every deck builder needs some sort of incentive, so this will be the plan:
10+ likes I will make a quick video that includes tips about the general playstyle of the deck
50+ likes I will make a list of possible replacements (those are always in high demand)
Videos that other people made:
I ran Leeroy Jenkins instead, but the Doomhammer is probably better
So far this deck is working wonders, I have been doing a lot of testing of other decks and not really worried about gaining ranks. However I pushed from 17-10 in about an hour and a half give or take
Went from rank 12 to rank 5 in like 2h !! replaced 1 Eternal Sentinel for 1 Lava Shock that litteraly won me games when i needed that extra instant damage !
Meh, this deck is great against nothing now that it's being teched against. Moving on.
I just got legend 15 mins ago. Rank 5 - Leg in two days only using this deck.
It's still rolling.
Great deck thanks !
I understand that Aggro Shamans may not use the same strategy as Face Hunter, but why call this deck SMOrc Shaman if you're not always ignoring your opponents minions and attacking face? I thought that is what SMOrc is about.
This is a serious question because I honestly don't know.
Because you often kill your opponents in turn 6-7 :P
Ignoring your oppoenent's minions and attacking face only does not work even for Face Hunters. You have to trade here and there, and use weapons to clear the board. SMOrc simply means that you will go face often.
Everyone who uses this deck should just kill themselves
tested it on eu at rank 9 went to rank 5. even with a terrible card draw luck and rng you can still make it more than %50 winrate. everybody play this type of deck so stop doing misplays.
you must be bad... this is actually the single most broken deck in the meta (especially after the bgh nerf). It's also pretty easy to pilot.
Thanks for the rank 5 chest, but i replaced the ancestrals for one storm and one tuskarr (good for dont overload t3 and get faceless on t4)
Thanks a lot again
rank 9 to rank 5 with a good winrate (didnt recorded game counts) thanks for the season awards mate
golden epic was worth abusing this disgusting deck thx
Totally broken, won every game so far, didn't even draw the hammer - the 7/7 guy owns. Thanks so much.
Finally first time legend with this deck. Thx mate
GZ man!
Went from rank 11 to rank 4 in around 3 hours, very nice deck. I find I was struggling with C'thun priest, but that's about it.
